Environmental Storytelling through 2D Animation

 So I went back to the drawing board literally based on advice I had gotten last week on creating several different assets for my project so I can have several different versions of my final project in the form of different seasons.  This week I was able to come up with the base assets I need to create my project and now all I need to do is plan out the rest of the things I need to create by plotting them out the same way you would if  you were planning a film shoot or writing a script and considering my background in film it should not be that hard a task.  I started out in Procreate and taking my initial sketch from last week and redoing the lines to make it look more streamlined and less hectic. Last week I was able to trace over the building and create kind of a preliminary sketch my original idea was to create the whole background and then add animated parts. After the feedback I got from class last week I took everyone's advice on creating different assets and ...

I think the biggest trouble I am going to have is creating the foliage, but it is definitely going to be good for practice. Here is an image of it without the tracing reference.  This is only the beginning I need to put a lot of work into the background a lot more work than I thought I would need. But I was ab...
